Handsome Asian Ken Watanabe is a Japanese actor who has appeared in Japanese and American films. I like the picture on the right because he looks like a hamsap manga character in it.

Do you ever wonder if you are living in a real world? Maybe someday you’d wake up on some weird planet and realize ‘Oops it was just a dream!’
Inception directed by visionary Christohper Nolan is all about dreams. It was released in 2010, shot in six countries at a reported cost of $160 million. Was it worth it? Yes! Every single second!
Dom Cobb is a professional inceptionist. What’s an inceptionist you ask? It’s a person who invades people’s dreams to steal their secrets. Scary eh? His trusted associate Arthur is his partner in crime. Played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Josheph Gordon-Levitt [double hotness, though I’m partial to Josheph ;) ] this duo assembles a team to do something they’ve never done before. Plant an idea. Cobb and his team are hired to plant an idea in the Fischer’s subconscious, portrayed by Cillian Murphy. To do this job they have to create layers of dream in which they can get lost.
This film revolves around Cobb, his desire to go meet his children and haunting memories of his deceased wife Mal. Cobb struggles with his emotions as Mal lives in his subconscious and what he knows, she knows too.
This amazing movie is a combination of epic science fiction and action that’ll keep you on the edge. The most amazing thing about this film is how it evolves. It has the ultimate plotline, I try not to compare movies but this one beats them all, well not all but most of them. It’s like a blooming flower; every time a petal opens you realize something new.
The whole 148 of this movie captivates you, I was never bored or wondered when this scene would end. It keeps you interested until the very end. I can’t say that it is easy to understand, some may find the concept a little difficult but keep an open mind and you’ll be asking for more.
The visuals in this film are A –wait-for-it─ mazing, AMAZING! Avatar takes us to a alien planet with fancy plants and blue aliens, it’s great. But this film gives us simple places and turns them upside down, literally ;) Architect of Dreams, ever heard a job title like that one? No? It exist peeps, it really does.
Nolan has made me wonder about reality, what is reality and how do you know if you are lost in a dream or not?
While Avengers: Endgame is out there shattering every box office record in the history of cinema, this week’s numbers have shown that not ALL of the strength at the movies has been hoarded by Iron Man, Captain America, Groot, etc.
A good deal of strength has been displayed by none other than a tiny, adorable Pikachu.
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, starring Justice Smith, Ken Watanabe, and Ryan Reynolds as the voice of the title character, had a very strong debut week at the U.S. box office, earning over $66 million. According to Box Office Mojo, the film’s strong opening is the highest ever for a film adaptation of a video game. What’s more, it is receiving very positive reviews from audiences and critics alike; with an average grade of A-, it is one of only 6 video game films to ever surpass a “B” average with CinemaScore. Interestingly enough, three of the other video game films to achieve this honor have been the previous three animated Pokemon film installments.
And what’s not to love? Pokemon: Detective Pikachu combines action, humor, and heart and is pleasing for Pokemon fans young and old, casual and diehard, with plenty of almost every Pokemon hidden throughout the movie as well as throwbacks to previous adaptations of Nintendo’s hit franchise. Come on, where have you seen a team of Squirtles putting out a fire before?!
Box Office Mojo also seemed confident in its assertion that Pokemon: Detective Pikachu has the power to become the most successful video game film of all time once it has finished its run. If the love for Deadpool ever happens to fade away for one reason or another, Ryan Reynolds could very well have another adorable franchise to fall back on.

I love the internet for the little things. For example some kind folks were nice enough to piece together every Godzilla roar from the beginning up until the current one. Kind of nifty to see the transformation. It would seem that the director of the new one, Gareth Edward’s, version is keeping in line with the Lizard we all grew up with.
Of course I am hyped for the upcoming Godzilla movie. How can you not be? It looks absolutely fantastic.
Check out the super-cut below.

TheGodzilla bandwagon is in full effect and I for one am ALL the damn way on board. The recent trailers and clips have done an excellent job of creating the hype for a movie that had the potential of sucking really hard.In fact, it is the film to beat this year in my opinion. And with an impressive slate of films that makes up 2014, that is saying something.
Next up we have a Japanese trailer that was recently released as well as an IMAX poster for the movie. I am going to say it now, Godzilla needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
Check them out below and I dare you not to be hyped after seeing this trailer.
Here is the trailer
And how dope is this poster?

i KNOW there’s an official recording of the London Palladium 2018 performance of The King and I cause there’s clips of it all over, and SOMEONE is hoarding it.
Ken, very dashing in a wing-tip collar and ascot tie, in this CM celebrating the Suzuki wagonR’s 2013 Technology of the Year Award from the Automotive Researchers’ and Journalists’ Conference of Japan, also called RJC.

Here’s a minute-long CM of Ken talking (in Japanese) about the Suzuki wagonR.
To learn kindness after so much unkindness, to understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew would find her prayers were answered, can that not be called happiness?

Another CM for the Suzuki wagonR starring Ken Watanabe. About halfway through, there’s a closeup on Ken that will knock your socks off. And possibly other articles of clothing as well. Yowza.

A tribute to Eastwood: Watanabe, Sato costar in an adaptation of “Unforgiven” - The Japan News
This is a very interesting interview (in English!) with Ken and his Yurusarezaru Mono co-star, Koichi Sato.
Maybe it’s just me, but this interview left me with the feeling that their experience with the director, Lee Sang Il, was not entirely positive.

Never watch Memoirs of a Geisha with me.
Because every time Ken Watanabe is onscreen, I will be physically incapable of not blurting out, “He is so pretty.”
Every. Single. Time.

Ken Watanabe - the perfect face.

As I was reading through the archives at the interesting and informative site Now I Know, I stumbled upon this entry. Ken is just everywhere I go!
Actor Ken Watanabe was born in Koide, Niigata, Japan, on October 21, 1959. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in The Last Samurai, and has more recently appeared in Batman Begins and Inception. He survived leukemia, which he was diagnosed with in 1989, and has Hepatitis C. In 2004, he was featured in People Magazine’s issue listing the fifty most beautiful people. One can learn all of this from Watanbe’s Wikipedia entry.
To learn his blood type, however, you will have to dig deeper. Not much deeper, though. That information is in his Wikipedia entry, too – his entry on the Japanese Wikipedia, that is. (For those who do not speak Japanese, here’s a screenshot of it, translated. Pay particular attention to the infobox on the right, three lines up from the bottom.) He’s blood type A.
Why is it there? Because Japanese culture treats blood types much like the Western world treats Zodiac symbols: mythical indicators as to people’s personalities and, in relationships, to their compatability with others. These blood type characteristics can be seen [in the “Japanese blood type personality chart” above]. While science has widely debunked any causal connection here, an estimated 90% of Japan’s residents know their blood types.
